A copper-nickel alloy cermet anode material with a nickel ferrite oxide phase.
Segmenting the contact pin into a refractory tip and lighter sleeve reduces weight while maintaining arc resistance.
Local quality differentiation in a bi-layered contact reduces material costs while maintaining low contact resistance and oxidation resistance.
Sinterable silver layers join contacts at 300°C, reducing process complexity and silver consumption while maintaining conductivity.
Diamond particles embedded in silver contact layers reduce material loss and welding during operation.
Au-Ni alloy contacts resolve the trade-off between contact reliability and anti-stick properties under varying loads.
